The lecture bureau is very sorry to announce that, on account of throat trouble, Dr. Gunsaulus will be obliged to disappoint the people of Lawrence again this winter. The bureau has made every effort to secure him, but under the circumstances that was impossible. It is too late in the season to secure another good lecturer, therefore the bureau thought that the best thing it could do was to secure the Lotus Glee Club, which gave such good satisfaction last year. The date of this entertainment will be March 18th.
The Language Conference met last Thursday at the usual hour, with a large attendance. The first paper was by Mr. Kruse, subject, Iago. It was a well written and clear analysis of this famous character. A long and interesting discussion followed, in which many important points were brought out. The next paper was by Miss Toburn. The subject was Othello. It was presented in a very attractive form and the audience was greatly delighted with her vivid description of this powerful character. When the paper had been duly discussed the time was up and it was decided to postpone the remainder of the program—a lecture by Dr. Wilcox on Biblical Parallels to Homer—till the next meeting.

Mr. Joseph Jacobs, of Atlanta, Ga., has given to Prof. Sayre the sum of $50 to be used as a scholarship for the students in Pharmacy under Prof. Sayre's instruction. This amount is to be duplicated annually and it is the idea that the money shall not be used as a gift but in the form of a loan to be paid back when the student earns the money. The conditions upon which this will be awarded will be arranged in the near future, and will appear in the announcement of the next Pharmacy catalogue.
The Political Seminary last Friday enjoyed the reading of an elaborately prepared paper on the Government Ownership of Railroads, by Mr. Fiegenbaum.

Tne usual discussion followed the reading of the paper.
